Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said that if Dhaka is to be besieged, BNP itself will be besieged. They will not find a way to escape now. 
He said that Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir asked the activists to come to Dhaka with extra clothes to seize power during the 18th rally. They are conspiring to block important places in Dhaka city. So there are no seats available in the hotels of Dhaka. They have booked all the seats. Booked vacant flat in new house. Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir is dreaming of the fall of the government. But this time the fate of BNP will be more tragic than Shapla Chatwar. We will all gather on October 18. BNP is entering by stealth. Shall we sit and eat lollipops? Jubo League, Chhatra League, Awami League are all ready. If you block this time, BNPE will be blocked. They must be blocked. They will not find a way to escape this time.’ 
In the speech of the chief guest at the youth rally organized by Awami Jubo League on Bangabandhu Avenue today, Awami League General Secretary said, ‘The quarter final game is now on. The semi-finals will be played next month and the finals will be played in January. The game will be against vote thieves, against Hawa Bhaban, against looters and money launderers. 
BNP’s one phase, 32 parties and movement are all fake. Referring to this party (BNP) as fake, he said, Mirza Fakhrul Islam is spreading strange news from the air of Alamgir; They have the support of the western world, they are encouraged. But the West has said that they do not support any party in the elections. 
He raised the question and said, Mirza Fakhrul will tell more lies! Last time he protested with bags of money, that movement was not successful. The movement has gone to the pits of the Golapbag field. 
Obaidul Quader said, ‘BNP’s financial assistance has increased more than before. They have emboldened to rely on foreigners. And the courage of the Awami League people. We are encouraged by the support of the people. As long as the people are with us, there is no fear. We stand for justice and principles.’ 
Mentioning that BNP will not be given any concession, he said, ‘Sheikh Hasina does not bow down to anyone. He does not fear anyone except Allah. Fakhrul is getting courage from abroad. We are confident that foreign surveys have shown that 70 percent of people will vote for Sheikh Hasina in the next election. We are taking courage from the support of the people of Bangladesh under the leadership of a courageous leader like Sheikh Hasina.’ 
Awami League presidium member Jahangir Kabir Nanak, organizing secretary Mirza Azam and general secretary Mainul Hossain Khan Nikhil also spoke at the youth rally under the chairmanship of Jubo League chairman Sheikh Fazle Shams Parsh and conducted by publicity secretary Jaydev Nandir.
